Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68569
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:241 (gnucash)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to gnucash
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:241.

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in gnucash:

gnc-test-env in GnuCash 2.3.15 and earlier places a zero-length
directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to
gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current
working directory (CVE-2010-3999).

The affected /usr/bin/gnc-test-env file has been removed to mitigate
the CVE-2010-3999 vulnerability as gnc-test-env is only used for
tests and while building gnucash.

Additionally for Mandriva 2010.1 gnucash-2.2.9 was not compatible
with guile. This update adapts gnucash to the new API of guile.

Affected: 2010.0, 2010.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
